TIE Kansas and Iowa prohibition
cases, pending before the United States
supreme court, are not progressing sat
isfactoriIy to the prohibitionists. The
court has denied all motions to advance
these cases and has withheld decision
upon cases already argued. These facts,
together with the late attempt of prohi-
bition lawyers to get additional argu-
ment before the court on cases already
heard, before decision is rendered, show
how greatly straitened the situation has
become for them. How important part
this whole question may become in the
campaign OF 1888, cannot be now stated,
but this much seems certain-while a
general sentiment in favor of restricted
traffic In ardent spirits is growing, in
this as in other countries, the Legal and
moral status Of absolutely prohibitiVe
measures is not advanced. The probibi-
tive Idea is not growing popular nor
does 1t seem destined to become so.

examined that carefully and as awards

moon upon the windows and the reflec-

near by, seem quite natural.
Our sense Of the ludlcrOus
rs well as of its Injustice is painting
of "The Confession" A leOherOus priest

cnanically counting his beads while
listening to the words OF q beautiful
note of her charms. 1t Is quite remark
able as an oddly. Another, is a copy
of The Helping Hand" as 1t is called
here, though the same thing has APP
peaTed under other names. 1t repre-
sents a Dutch fisherman and little girl
rowing upon the same oar. 1t Is not
good COPY as it has been handled with
too much freedom. Among the portraits
we noticed that of Prof. w, q. ROte and
Mr.. j. Z. Simpson, OF San Antonio.
That Of Mr.. Simpson was crayon and
was the better OF the two.
Near the north end OF the promenade
on the second floor was placed a dia-
gram showing the area OF Texas against
other states of the U. $. rs well as OF
the old world and 1t is needless to say
that Texas headed the list.
A feature OF the exhibition is the ar
tistic and various characters OF the signs
used to advertise various business houses
that have representatives on the
grounds. Many are very elaborate. On
the ground floor of the Main building
young lady makes rugs with a little ma
chine, which uses either rags or yarn,
and she always has a crowd of spects-
tors around her to see that she does not
make mistake. There Is set of
chimes In the building rung by me-
chanicsl "carriIlonier" that attempts TO
play few tunes, but as the bells are not
quite In tune IL Is some times hard to
recognize the air. In the gallery of the
north end 10 some beautiful rustic work,

cabins, reminds us OF the "little

The Beau Ideal of a Family Medi-
cine.

A remedy which promptly and completely
relieves ailments of such common occurrence
as Indigestion, constipation, biliOusness and
disorders of a malarial type, is assuredly the
beau ideal of family medicine. Such is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is not only
capable of Graduating these complaints, but
also cOunteracting tendency to kidney
troubles, rheumatism and premature dCca-
dcnce of stamina. Taking it "all round" as
the phrase is, there is probably not in eX-
iStencc so useful, effective and agreeable Il
household panaCea as the Bitters. Nor is it
sion than by The families of America. Num-
bCrcss testimonials from professional sources
of irrOfragable authenticity evince its merit.
The demand for il abroad, no less than in the
land Of its discovery, is certainly increasing,
time aud experience of its bcnchcent effects
confirming the high opinion originally formed
of IL. 10 % ct

Catarrhal Dangers

Catarrhal Dangers
To be freed from the dangers of sufocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter defes the br ath and rots away the deli
cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing;
to feel that the system does not, through its
veins aud arteries, suck up the poison that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
To purchase immunity from such a fate
should be the object of all afflicted. But those
who have tried many remedies and physicians
despair of relief or cure.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of catarrh, from a simple head cold to the
most lOathsome and destructive stages. 1t is
local and constitutional. Instant in relieving,
permanent in curing, safe, economical and
never-fatng.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of
CATARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED IN
HALER, all wrapped in one package, with
treatise and directions, and sold by all drug
gists for 81.

diamond beds are in India, Brazil and
South Africa, although single stones
have occasionally been picked up in
Virginia and North Carolina. Mexico
furnishes many gems particularly

in gold and silver, appears to be poor

In the same region in Mcdowell

are also found in great variety stones

carried on chiefly for gold by the
